Revitalization of waiting areas at National oncology centre in Bratislava

Proposal

Waiting room areas at National oncology centre in Bratislava are in need of revitalization. In cooperation with Faculty of architekcture in Bratislava and Body Conscious Design Lab we designed new proposal for interior, that should become part of healing process.

New seating areas in interior of entrance hall are part of waiting areas for patients. Massive timber beams are used as seating to generate feeling being outside, in woods. Feelings are generated by stimulation all human senses by natural characteristics of raw wood.

Additional spaces as interior garden, café with seating and external wooden terrace are helping to distract patients from their concentration on treatment.
